"It's the last straw that breaks the

The pleasant June sunbeams came

Mr, Bellenden was justly. proud of
s dairy.
Not a-chance guest came to the

"A nd it isn't the dairy alone,'" tri

But presently young Mrs. Bellenr

of milk into the shining pans, the
news arrived that Uncle Paul was
coming to the farm.
"Another guest!". said Lucy, de.

And then she uttered the proverb

'Mr.- Bellenden. "Don't fret, Lutie !

"Neither have I !" said Lucy, re

-'And Sarah Eliza don't like com

"And I am supposed to be fond of
it !" observed Lucy, bitterly.
"And Reuben's girls don't want
old folks staying there. It's too
much trouble, they say," added Seth.
Lucy bit her lips to keep back the
words she might have said, instead :
-Where is he to sleep? Tne Bel

observed the reporter.

tobe one of his scho!ars," and he hand
ed the reporter a letter signed by
"D Slatecypher." ' While the Star
man studied the signature the lawyer
pulled from a pigeon..hore a bundle
of papers and .suddenly resumed :
